The TIC201M is a solid-state thyristor surge suppressor manufactured by Bourns, Inc. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, or electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Applications:

• Telecommunication Equipment: Protection of telephone lines, modems, and network interfaces.
• Industrial Control Systems: Safeguarding programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, and other control devices.
• Power Supplies: Transient voltage suppression for AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies.
• Consumer Electronics: Protection of audio/video equipment, appliances, and other electronic devices.

Features:

• Solid-State Thyristor Technology: Provides fast response to transient voltage surges.
• High Surge Current Capability: Withstands high surge currents without degradation.
• Low Clamping Voltage: Limits the voltage across the protected circuit to a safe level.
• Bidirectional Protection: Protects against both positive and negative voltage surges.
• Compact Package: Available in a small form factor for easy integration.

Benefits:

• Improved Reliability: Protects sensitive electronic components from damage due to voltage surges, increasing the reliability of equipment.
• Reduced Downtime: Prevents equipment failures caused by voltage transients, minimizing downtime and repair costs.
• Enhanced Safety: Provides protection against electrical hazards associated with voltage surges.
• Cost-Effective Protection: Offers a cost-effective solution for protecting electronic equipment from voltage transients.

Additional Details:

The TIC201M is a surface-mount device. Its key specifications include peak pulse current, standoff voltage, and clamping voltage. The specific values depend on the grade of the TIC201M chosen. Careful consideration should be given to the selection of the appropriate part based on the expected surge current and voltage levels in the application.
